Pinkfresh Studio - Hello Fun-Fold Card

Hello everyone! I am on the Pinkfresh Blog today with a fun-fold card. The inspiration came from the pot in the Herb Garden product suite. This card stand perfectly on the desk and fits in the normal A2 size envelope. I don't really know what this fun-fold is called though.

I used the Herb Garden stencils and Herb Garden dies, Beautiful Botanicals stamp, Beautiful Botanicals Stencils and Beautiful Botanicals dies, Basic Sentiment dies from the new release, along with the Dotted Petals press plate.

 

To start, I created a cardbase out of white card measuring 4 1/4th by 5 3/8th inches. Score at 3/4th inch from both the ends of 5 3/8th side. Cut two bands measuring 1 1/4th by 7 inches. Score at 3/4th, 2 1/2, 4 1/2, 6 1/4th inches. These will be the top and bottom parts of the card front.

Sponge a white panel (4 1/2 by 4 1/4th inch) onto the 4 1/2 inch side using Sky Blue ink to create an ombre effect. Cut 3 pieces from this (two 1/2, 3 1/2). Adhere to the back panel.

Create a textured panel using Dotted Petals press plate and run it through the letterpress system without adding the ink. Cut small stripes to add to the blocks of both the bands.
 

 

Adhere the first scored area of the band to the back of the inked panel to the left side on to the top part, adhere the last scored panel of the band behind the top right. In the similar way adhere the lower band and the cardbase is ready.

Sponge inks (Warm Buff, Doe, Espresso, Berrylicious) through the Herb Garden stencils for the pot part. Die-cut using the Herb Garden dies.

Stamp the images from the Beautiful Botanicals stamp set using Detail Black ink, add inks (Bubble Gum, Raspberry Bliss, Lemon Whip, Mimosa, Candy Violet, Summer Shower, Berrylicious, Mango Sorbet, Key Lime, Emerald City) to add color using the Beautiful Botanicals Stencils. Die-cut using the Beautiful Botanicals dies.
 

Make a cut using a craft knife to the curve of the pot. Adhere the florals as per your liking. Add some die-cut vellum leaves using the Curvy Leaves dies.

Adhere the pot to the center panel of the lower band and the fun fold card is finished.

Die-cut a sentiment using the Basic Sentiment dies from Essentials Glitter Cardstock: Candy Violet. Adhere to the pot.

It looks really pretty in real life. I have a video for this card, which I will be adding a bit later. Thank you for dropping by and have a nice weekend!

Pinkfresh Studio - Floral Celebration Card

Hello everyone, I am on the Pinkfresh blog today with a fun floral celebration card. I created a triangle of floral clusters, surrounding the sentiment to create movement of the eyes to the sentiment.

I used the Nested Rectangle: Diagonal Stitch dies for the cardbase and the frame as it gives an elegant touch to the project.

To start, I die-cut a white panel using the Nested Rectangle: Diagonal Stitch dies and also created a frame by using two of the smaller dies. I then sponged Waterfall ink towards the bottom right of the panel using the 1" Blending Brushes. Adhere the frame using 3D foam.

To create the flowers, I sponged various inks (Coral Reef, Passion Fruit, Raspberry Bliss, Berrylicious, Marigold, Apricot, Waterfall, Paradise, Grassy Knoll, Olive) through the Garden Party stencils. Next, die-cut these panels using the Garden Party dies. Create layered flowers to your liking and adhere to the panel. Add the leaves to create the movement.

Stamp the sentiment from the Always Smiling stamp set using Detail Black ink, die-cut using the coordinating dies. Die-cut one more piece with black cardstock and adhere slightly off-set to create a shadow effect. Add the sentiment to the card. To finish, I added Pixie Dist Ombrè Glitter Drops.

Hope you enjoyed the easy yet, layered card. Thanks for dropping by and have a nice day!

Pinkfresh Studio - Masculine Birthday Card

Hello everyone, I am on the Pinkfresh Studio blog today with a masculine card. We all need to create masculine cards and the abstract Mountain Stencils helps create easy backdrop. The new Nested Rectangles: Diagonal Stitch is perfect to give the elegant touch to our creations.
 

To start, I sponged inks (Seaside, Storm, Stargazer, Mimosa, Candy Violet, Waterfall, Paradise) through the Mountain Sencil but added color only to the mountain part. Sponge, waterfall and Lemon whip for the sky part using the 1" Blending Brushes, for a soft look.

Next, I die-cut the grassy slopes and grass using the Trees dies. Add color to the slopes using Sage ink. Die-cut the twigs from white cardstock using Wildflower Bouquet dies. Sponge Waterfall, Lemon Whip and Mimosa inks lightly onto the top part. 

 

For the gifts, I used the Holiday Bicycle stamps, added color using inks (Sunshine, Grassy Knoll, Mimosa, Waterfall) through the stencils and die-cut using the coordinating dies.

Die-cut the mountain scene using the the mid size die from the Nested Rectangles: Diagonal Stitch die, die-cut another piece using the 2nd largest die, sponge Waterfall ink moving from center towards the edge. This way we only get a slight tint of the color. Finally, die-cut one more layer using the biggest die to adhere to the cardbase. 

 

Assemble the card as per the photo. Next, I stamped the sentiment from the Here For You Sentiments stamp set using Detail Black ink, die-cut using the co-ordnating die. I adhered to an orange card, slightly off-set. I love adding another color behind my sentiments to pop them up.

Hope you got an idea for masculine card. Thank you for stopping by and have a nice day!

I used the flowers from the Floral Spray (S5-638) dies. These are on sale if you want them :)

Pinkfresh Studio - Framed Art Trio

Hello and Happy Monday everyone! I am on the Pinkfresh Studio Blog today, sharing three cards featuring various products from the release and a fun way to use the abstract stencils from the Framed Art product suite. Hope you enjoyed our new release hops last week.

For my first card, I used Framed Art stencils, stamp and dies along with the Kindness in Bloom stamp (sentiment), Breezy Blossoms stamps and dies (as accent)

I started by adding various inks (Soft Lilac, Waterfall, Mint, Summer Shower) through the brush stroke stencils. To get more interest, I chose two different brushstrokes. Next, I stamped the floral cluster from the Framed Art stamp using Mint ink in an abstract way to this panel.

Die-cut the wall hanging using vellum, Die-cut the top and bottom panel using white card, I added some gold glitter from the Essentials: Gold Glitter pack for a touch of sparkle. Stamp the image using Detail Black ink, add color through the stencils using inks (Soft Lilac, Raspberry Bliss, Grassy Knoll, Summer Shower) and die-cut using the coordinating dies.

Stamp the sentiment, add a bit of color to the two edges and cut into a stripe. Stamp the Breezy Blossoms using Calico White ink, emboss with white embossing powder and die-cut. Adhere around the main focal image as an accent.

For the 2nd card I used the Framed Art stencils to create the background using inks (Sparkling Rose, Waterfall, Lemon Whip, Grassy Knoll)

 

I then die-cut a pink cardbase using the Blanket Stitched Rectangle die and adhered behind the mat layer. Next I die-cut a frame from Blush Glitter Card using the Dotted Fancy Frames die. Adhere to the card. 

 

Stamp the florals from Modern Botanicals stamp, add color using inks (Mango Sorbet, Raspberry Bliss, Spruce Tips,  Grassy Knoll)through the stencils, die-cut using the dies.

Die-cut some twigs using white card from the Wildflower Bouquet dies. Assemble everything together. Use the sentiment from the Wildflower Bouquet stamp set and die-cut. 

For the last card, I decided to go for a bit more artsy and abstract mini slimline card.

 I swipe the Stargazer inkpad through the Framed Art stencils and sponged some more elements from parts of the stencils, add some flicks using the same ink. Add a touch of water (yes, Pinkfresh inks reacts with water) and let it dry. I then added some more strokes using the Sunkissed ink. 

Die-cut this panel using the Mini Slimline Essential Bundle, now die-cut three vellum circles using the small circle die in this set. Adhere the white twigs from the Wildflower Bouquet dies. Foil the florals with Rose Gold foil using the Modern Botanicals press plate. 

Add ink using the stencils, die-cut and adhere to the card. To finish adhere the sentiment.

Hope you got inspired. Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!
